Eating Right Quantities
Many nutrition experts argue that it is not necessary to count calories. If you have an innate ability to know how much you need to eat, or you have learned it through experience, then I happen to agree. However, it is not the case for the majority of people. So, you need to count calories, at least in the start. Later on, when you start losing weight and have a good idea about the right quantities you need to eat, you can give the control to your intuition and stop counting calories.
Eating the right food seems daunting for many reasons. First, you need to know what the right foodis, and then you need to stick to it. A simple rule can help you distinguish the right foods.
When humans alter the food in any way, most probably, it becomes less healthy, or even worse, becomes unhealthy. Our alterations of food are often geared towards reducing costs, increase production, make it visibly appealing, or preserving. We are often less concerned about the health aspects of the food. Even when we are, the results are debatable at best. So, stick to the unprocessed or least processed foods. Have you ever thought what makes fast food unhealthy? It is because it tries to achieve the things mentioned above – not health.
Weight loss without physical activity is possible, but it is often not a healthy or the most efficient course. Consider exercise as an essential body need. If food is essential to life, exercise is essential to living it in a healthy way.
